Rebuilding Entourage
Entourage 2004 has just a massive file. Mine’s is currently 2.5GB and has ballooned to 5GB, you can compact it by holding down the “option” key and clicking on Entourage. This starts the database utility “which”:http://www.entourage.mvps.org/database/rebuild.html copies and creates a new one.

Kerio Hosting
Chris mentioned to me and Rennie that Kerio was an old time Mac solution that does just about everything. They support Outlook directly with their own MAPI provider, they support Entourage as well directly. They also do Blackberry sync and iPhone as well without needing anything else in the middle. He said that “Big Mountain”:http://www.bigmountaindesign.com/…

Copying Entourage calendars, contacts and mail to a new Exchange Server
Amazingly there is nothing really on the web that is concise about how you copy Entourage calendars from one identity to another. For instance, if you are like me migrating from one Exchange installation to another that is, in my case hosted, then how do you do it. Here’s a quick guide: # Start Entourage…

My buddy “Pascal”:http://center.spoke.com/info/pI2Q8X/PascalMartin told me that there are lots of Exchange hosters. Said I might try Apptix as one company. So off to “asp-one.com”:http://asp-one.com for a trial. Some quick notes: * They don’t support Mac users in the admin console. They actually require Internet Explorer to run their administrative UI. * The actual site is…

The most amazing fact is that a poll of businesses shows a really steep for Microsoft in business reputation. From #1 in 1996, #12 in 2004 and then #59 in 2007.

iChat IM
We’ve been experimenting with this at our office. IM has not been a big thing before, but with a small new office, its a good way to learn. “iChat”:http://mactips.info/tips/2007/02/set-up-ichat is the builtin IM system in Mac OS X. It is a little confusing, because the default is to use mac.com addresses and connect into an…

Anagram Games
Found lots of anagram exercises on the web from Stanford and Duke in particular, but found one that is a simple game that is pretty easy to understand: * “Devdaily”:http://www.devdaily.com/java/jwarehouse/netbeans-src/usersguide/j2seexamples/anagrams/src/com/toy/. This one is a little complicated, but basically it shows you a scrambled word and you have to figure out how to unscramble and turn…

ASUS M3p
Dad gave me an old laptop to use. It is from 2004! So it needs lots of updating. First up is to get: # “Java”:http://java.com. So that I can write programs # “Dr. Java”:http://drjava.com. Which is a simple editor and program # “Intel 2200 BG”:http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/pro2200bg/. I couldn’t connect to Apple’s latest Time Capsule and my…
